This guitar was dropped from standing position, and landed on the side of its head, causing it to snap off. The broken part still fits properly as it is a clean break.

Question is, what is the best and most cost effective method of fixing this problem and restoring it back to usable condition? Is there anywhere in PJ area that can do these repairs?

Any help GREATLY appreciated smile.gif

I'm afraid the headstock might be beyond repair. Maybe you could bring it to a guitar store nearby and ask?

cant use super strong adhesive to glue back the part?

that is not beyond repair.

since you say its a clean crack...
if you're confident, go get some proper wood glue.
just pour it in and wipe off any excess.
then you might have to clamp it so it lays flat.
then let it dry for about 2-3 days.

else i think tham in PJ should be able to do it, his number is somewhere in here, go search tongue.gif

ahhh i dont think im confidant enough since its not mine

Please keep trying to call them and once you manage to get hold of either one of them, then ask for thier personal details (address and etc.)

Their contact number can be found at this thread, post number 3. Music Shops, Luthiers & Jamming/Recording Studios

The reason why they won't allow us to post thier personal details on the forum is because these guys are doing all these service on thier free will, which means they won't over-price you, but don't expect you call now, they answer and they attend to you tomolow.

Oh yea, it can be repaired, I have seen worse before .....  smile.gif

thanks ^^
